insurance question
CapitolChick replied to tammy green's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
post your question with that insurance name in the title maybe someone will bite. I don't that company. Good Luck ! -
Is your port on the left side? Maybe you retched the skin when throwing up. Remain calm and tell yourself your band is fine. Severe stress will only make it worse for you. Try to get rehydrated. To me it doen't sound like a slip, but I know you are worried.

Surgery after lap band?
CapitolChick replied to Figpuddin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you are a puker..then maybe... Otherwise..don't do it. You have are in a good spot. I just had my gallbladder removed 15 days ago and the surgeon said that there was no reason to remove my fills. I got liquid roxecet for the pain (oxicodone and extra strength Tylenol) I was happy as a clam and now am clicking along feeling super! -
Oh! that reminds me to take my CP. It works for me sometime and other times not.:wink:

Looking for a book to read . . .
CapitolChick replied to bumble-bee's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
If you buy a subscription to the OH magazine, they always have good stuff for us bandies (they balance all th wt loss surgeries for content in the mag) I LOVE getting the magazine! Also, I get New Beauty - b/c it has load of plastic surgery or beautification product/articles and they have bio's on surgeons in your area. (New Beauty is a geographically specific mag., I think) -
Ohwhynot, isn't just a BIZARRE feeling: knowing that those are that items you won't need again. In the past..I aways kept my clothes..I would just rotate boxes around: skinny in or out, super jumbo clothes in or out..etc. Post band: My clothes looked so clown like I ended up over 7 months having an empty closet with just undershirts (tank tops)..I have to go to the goodwill nearly everyday!

You probably don't have enough of the gasx in you to combat all that gas. Simethicone (Oral Route) - MayoClinic.com For symptoms of too much gas: For oral dosage forms (capsules or tablets): Adults and teenagers—Usual dose is 60 to 125 milligrams (mg) four times a day, after meals and at bedtime. The dose should not be more than 500 mg in twenty-four hours.

Weight loss prior to first fill
CapitolChick replied to Three bunny mom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yup, you are doing great! Totally normal. -
Seriously, Jacqui I am appalled at how lazy you are.

I don't know if this will help..but couple things I have learned over the years is: If you can scrape up some money to hire some help for house cleaning it will be worth more than the money you spend. forgive yourself for not having 'it all done' if people come over and your house is a pit..well that is just life. I like to shop (which forces me to walk and walk) in order not to charge it up, I shop for 'deals' at the goodwill or the mall. Add at least 1 Crockpot dinner to your week. have 1 night a week cheap eat out It is illegal for you not to get a break at work. There are (2) 15 minute breaks you need to use to stroll around the building, block, stairs whatever. I hate to exercise. I will never like it. I mentally cuss the whole time. That is just me. But I LOVE where my life is going..so I force myself to do it. The more you lose the more energy you will have (little bits at a time, but it will happen) and finally just commit to something small. 15 minutes a day. If you can do that for a few months it will get easier

I don't know if my doc uses an xray or if that is the same thing as the phlorscopy thing my surgeon has, but YES! I can see it all..it is pretty cool. And they explain what you are looking at.
